The video shows Pelosi appearing to slur her words and stammer, as if drunk or mentally incapacitated.

A Facebook Inc executive told CNN the company wouldn’t remove a manipulated video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, stating that there’s no policy that says content on the social-networking website must be accurate.

The video shows Pelosi appearing to slur her words and stammer, as if drunk or mentally incapacitated. In reality, someone had taken a clip of Pelosi, in which her speech was normal, and altered its speed and the tone of her voice to create the effect.
